Where an architecture website actually helps
A builder recommends you
One link carries the recommendation
Builders and realtors pass on your page: your projects, how you work and how to start.
An addition or a renovation
Before and after makes the case
The cramped original next to the open, light result shows a homeowner what's possible with their own house.
Built work, the journey and fees
How built work, the design journey and your fees come across on your site
Someone who just bought a lot types very different things from someone with a cramped 1970s bungalow: "architect for custom home", "home addition architect", "cottage design", "residential architect near me". A page for each kind of work you do, with built projects that match it, brings each of them to the right part of your portfolio.
Tell the story of each project, not just the photos. The site, the brief, the constraints and how the design answered them show clients how you think, and give search engines real words to read alongside the images.
Most people have never hired an architect and are a little afraid to ask. Explain the process step by step, from the first visit through design, permits, tender and construction, and say how you charge: a percentage, a fixed fee or phases. Clear answers turn a nervous visitor into an enquiry.
Then let the enquiry form do the groundwork. Where the site is, what they want to build, the timeline and a rough budget give you enough to judge the fit and make your first reply genuinely useful.
Your QR codes, included
Put your website on every site you build
Your site comes with 3 branded QR codes, ready for print. Point a phone camera at one and your page opens, no app needed.

Before you say yes
What architects ask us
Can each project have its own page?
Yes, with photos, drawings if you want them, and the story of the site and the brief.
Should we explain our fees?
Yes, at least how you charge and what a typical project involves. It's the question most people are afraid to ask.
Can enquiries include the lot or house address and photos?
Yes. The enquiry form takes the address, photos and a rough budget, straight to your email.
We do residential and small commercial work. Can the site show both?
Yes, on separate pages, since homeowners and business owners need different reassurance.
Can we add projects as they're completed?
Yes, from the app, as soon as the photographer delivers.
Can we show work that's still on the drawing board?
Yes, as concepts or renderings, clearly labelled, next to finished projects with real photos.
Can I start with just a digital card?
You can. The Digital Business Card gives you one page with everything people need to call you or save your contact, plus a QR code, for $99 a year. Move up to a full site whenever it makes sense.
Does the site help with Google?
It gives Google something solid to read: a page for each service, your areas and your contact details, built to load fast on phones. Nobody can promise a position for "architect near me", and anyone who does is guessing.
When does billing start, and is anything extra?
Billing starts the day you approve your draft: $299 a year. Until then you pay nothing. The one extra is your own domain name (like yourstudio.ca), bought separately if you want one.
See your architecture website before you pay anything.
Send us a few details. Your free draft is ready in about 3 days.
